Excerpt from The Works of John Angell James, Onewhile Minister of the Church Assembling in Carrs Lane Birmingham, Vol. 17: Autobiographical Several smaller pieces are also given with signatures and paging indicating their places in other volumes but most of them may perhaps be as fitly read in connection with the Autobiography. The Bible Society speech could scarcely be omitted after the Author's notice of it. Without the letters on the revival of religion in the United States the Author's views would not have been completely expressed. The paper in reference to Students of Divinity was written at the request of the Congregational Union, and he afterwards volunteered a letter to the same effect to the Council of New College, London. The former is reprinted at length, with the insertion of parts of the latter, properly distinguished. The passages relating to the same particulars are placed toge ther, and the reader will notice that the difference between them consists in the increased solemnity with which the more mature thoughts are conveyed or illustrated.
